This Glaciers de la Vanoise 2-day trail running tour is a demanding but very fulfilling challenge to go through an amazing landscape!
Les Glaciers de la Vanoise are a group of glaciers located on the east of France. They are part of La Vanoise Massif, in a protected area of the French Alps. The surface of this icy environment is as large as Paris, it’s very impressive.
To run under these glaciers will be an amazing experience for you. But this will be a tough program, so you should be fit enough to run at least 10 kms in an hour and/or be capable of running a half-marathon. We will be running 70km in 2 days.
I’ll be happy to share with you my trail running experience during the trip. I’ll tell you about good nutrition for this activity, how to use running poles correctly, present you the different running techniques and how to run efficiently up and down the mountain. But most of all, this program will be about having fun and enjoying the amazing landscape and wild scenery of my region. Plus, we’ll be delighted with the warm hospitality and mountain environment at Le Refuge de la Dent Parrachée.
I also like this tour very much because it’s a circuit, we don’t go 2 times the same way. Only the starting and ending point (Pralognan) are the same. It is also much less ‘commercial’ than traditional tours like Le Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) which means that it will be a very authentic experience for you!
Please send me a request and come to this 2-day Glaciers de la Vanoise trail running tour and allow me to share my passion and my knowledge with you. I’m confident you’ll greatly enjoy the experience!
We’ll start very early in the morning, at 5 am. We’ll start our trail with direction to Le Col de la Vanoise and we’ll go through Les Balcons. Around 11 am we’ll have lunch in a beautiful spot. Then continue to arrive at the Mountain hut at around 3 or 4 pm. We will spend the rest of the afternoon and the evening in this very nice place, playing games, discuss, share…
We’ll leave the hut around 7 am. We’ll run between La Vallée de la Tarentaise (on our right side) and La Vallée de la Maurienne (on our left side). And also under La Dent Parachée to start the day. Then we’ll continue down to Pralognan passing through very traditional meadows.

After recently graduating from university, I'm currently developing my profession as a mountain leader. An avid hiker and mountain biker myself, I love to share my passion for the outdoors and the mountains with fellow trekkers. I also compete in trail-running.
Currently based in Cognin, Savoie, I have lived in various different spots in Europe. Apart from the Alps, I've lived in Bolzano for 18 months and also know the Dolomites quite well.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
